Chapter 1495 Burning People in the City
The master and disciples came to the outside of the city and couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw the people coming in and out of the city gate one after another.
There is a dragon temple guarding the city, so this monster should not come to the city.
Xuanzang and the others didn't think much, and started to enter the city after breathing a sigh of relief.
As soon as they reached the city, Sun Wukong and others went straight to the Dragon Temple. After traveling for days, they needed a good rest.
After walking around the city for most of the time, they found that there was no trace of the Dragon Temple at all, which made several people suddenly stunned.
Why is there no dragon temple in this city?
Calculating, this place is already on the outskirts of the Far West, so there should be a dragon temple.
Under the protection of the Dragon King, this city can be safe and sound, but there is no Dragon Temple here, let alone a Dragon King.
How did this city survive in Xiniu Hezhou, a place plagued by demons?
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt a little strange. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should ask carefully.
Master Xuanzang and his disciples came to the street and wanted to stop a pedestrian to ask, but they found that everyone was walking in a hurry, as if they had something important to do.
It would be fine if only one of them looked like this, but looking around, they found that everyone looked like this at this time.
Seeing the person hurrying in one direction, Xuanzang was slightly startled, obviously not expecting that things would turn out like this.
"Wukong, what happened?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Sun Wukong shook his head, and then looked in the direction where people were rushing.
"I gonna go see."
After saying that, he turned into a leap and rushed towards the center of the city.
In mid-air, Sun Wukong glanced down, only to find that a high platform had been raised in the city.
I saw flags flying on the high platform, and a middle-aged man in white sitting cross-legged in the middle of the high platform. At this time, there were many people surrounding the high platform.
Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be stunned.
With a look of confusion on his face, Sun Wukong obviously didn't understand what the scene in front of him was about.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"The prince's lack of virtue has led to the wrath of heaven, which has affected tens of thousands of people in Fengxian County. Today, the prince repented and is willing to burn himself here to appease the anger of heaven!"
"I hope the sky will show mercy and send rain to our Fengxian County to protect tens of thousands of people!"
Hearing the voice coming from the high platform, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never seen this scene before.
What do you have to do to provoke the wrath of God?
Sun Wukong frowned, and then golden light appeared in his eyes, looking towards the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the high platform.
If the guess is correct, this person should be the prince mentioned by the person who just spoke.
As soon as his eyes touched the prince, Sun Wukong was stunned. In his eyes, this prince was a person full of rays of light. He was obviously a lucky person. Why would he provoke the wrath of heaven?
Moreover, there should be signs of the wrath of the sky, but I couldn't see it at all.
Isn't he a prince?
Just when Sun Wukong was confused, he saw the people in the audience knelt down one after another, but instead of interceding for the princes, they began to worship the heaven and the earth.
As for the man in white on the stage, he was motionless at this time.
A group of soldiers came forward, still holding firewood in their hands, and were piling firewood around the man in white.
Watching this scene, Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly. It looked like he was indeed a prince. Something was wrong with these people!
Looking back, Sun Wukong saw that the torch in the soldier's hand had been thrown towards the pile of firewood.
From beginning to end, the prince didn't say a word.
A raging fire ignited, and then the surrounded princes began to laugh loudly.
"Hahaha! You fools, how can it be like this when the wrath of heaven comes? If it rains, so what if it means burning a few of our officials to death?"
"But have you ever thought about the consequences of listening to this monster's slander!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong in mid-air was slightly startled. He turned to look at the crowd, only to find that there was indeed someone surrounding him at the front.
I saw the man walking slowly onto the stage, wearing a black robe and looking very mysterious.
"Marquis, you refuse to admit your mistakes even when you are dying, so don't blame me for being cruel!"
"snort!"
Looking at each other across the fire, the Marquis looked at the person on the other side of the flame coldly, and said in a cold voice: "You reject the Dragon Temple, do you really think that the Dragon Palace doesn't know about it? Although Fengxian County is small, we also know that the Dragon Temple It is the foundation of Xiniu Hezhou.”
"So what if I die today? As long as I can prove that I have a clear conscience, someone will come looking for you!"
The man in black robe frowned, obviously thinking about the weight of this sentence, but after a while, he still did not release the prince.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he seemed to have some understanding. His eyes fell on the black-robed man, but he found a strange power fluctuation in him, even though he knew that this problem occurred in this man.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he saw Sun Wukong flick his finger slightly, and a ray of golden light shot away, and was instantly submerged in the flames.
An imperceptible barrier quickly opened, protecting the prince tightly.
Seeing that the flame was about to burn his body, the prince closed his eyes tightly, but after waiting for a long time, the flame did not reach his body.
Feeling stunned for a moment, the Duke slowly opened his eyes, only to find that there were no flames burning around him, and he couldn't even feel the heat wave.
"This is……"
With a look of confusion on his face, the prince looked forward intently, only to find that the flames seemed to be blocked by something when they reached a certain place.
The man in black robe who had been staring at the flames gradually frowned.
Something seems to be wrong. Why isn't the fire burning inside?
I saw a flash of light in the eyes of the man in black robe, and then I saw a barrier in the flames, and I was immediately shocked.
This prince is not a cultivator, so why would he use this method?
Subconsciously, the man in black robe looked towards the crowd behind him, but found that everyone was kneeling on the ground motionless, obviously there was no possibility of taking action.
Besides, since I'm here, why didn't I notice it?
He was horrified in his heart, but the man in black robe didn't know who actually took action to protect the prince.
At this time, the prince realized that he would not die for a while, so he couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Wrath of God? I am clearly blessed by God!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the face of the man in black robe suddenly turned gloomy. He stared at the prince, and a light gradually condensed on his hand.
I saw the flames rising instantly, as if intending to forcefully burn through the barrier.
But after a moment, the barrier showed no reaction at all, and the man in black robe finally changed his expression.
"how so?"
Just when the man in black robe was horrified, he heard a voice in the sky.
"Don't bother, I feel uncomfortable watching it."
